Yep,

height is good - slight gap at let-off (mm or 2) and angle is good,
(increasing resistance when pushed further into check, etc.)  And, checking
is just good all the way around.  When this hammer rebounds, it's rebounding
with unchecked force from the rest rail (so it appears).  Rep spring
strength can't create this kind of velocity.  Basically, if you closed your
eyes you would suspect let-off/drop/aftertouch based upon the double
striking sound you hear, but it's a full distance rebound.

Thanks just the same.
